Evidence-Based Online Therapy With a Strengths-Based Focus
Melissa Brunetti, LCSW, uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a strengths-based perspective, helping clients recognize what is already working and build practical change from there. This approach can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem because it keeps therapy grounded in achievable steps and personal capabilities.She also focuses on developing emotional regulation skills, which means learning ways to identify emotions earlier, tolerate distress more effectively, and respond with intention instead of reacting on autopilot. In addition, therapy often includes reframing negative thought patterns that can reinforce feeling stuck, supporting clearer thinking and more flexible coping in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Melissa collaborates with clients to understand goals, preferences, and current challenges, then tailors sessions to fit the individual and adjust strategies over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy makes it easier to stay consistent and get support in a format that fits real life. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, changing energy levels, or times when writing feels easier than talking.
